Title: A Schottky Tune Meter for the Fermilab Mu2E Delivery Ring

Conference ·
OSTI ID:2246793

The Mu2E experiment will measure the ratio of the rate of the neutrinoless, coherent conversion of muons into electrons as a measure of Charged Lepton Flavor Violation. As part of the Mu2E experiment, a proton storage ring, called the Delivery Ring, will utilize resonant extraction to slow-spill protons to the experiment. To regulate and optimize the Delivery Ring resonant extraction process, a fast tune measurement scheme will be required. This Mu2E tune meter will measure the average tune and the tune spectrum, in multiple time slices, through the entire resonant extraction cycle of nominally 43 msec. The Mu2E tune meter system utilizes vertical and horizontal 21.4 MHz Schottky detector resonant pickups, taken from the decommissioned Tevatron, high-gain amplifiers and digital down-conversion FPGA logic for its signal processing. This paper will present the design of this Schottky tune meter as well as tune measurements from the Mu2E delivery ring.
